Another question about the Di2: if you use road shifters with a mountain rear derailleur, is the derailleur indexed for mountain cassettes or road cassettes? Can you choose which indexing you want by using Shimano's e-Tube software?

With Di2-stuff the "cable pull ratio" depends on the rear derailleur, i.e. with an older RD-6770 rear derailleur I would need a 10 speed cassette . My shifter is in fact an Alfine Di2 one.
I think I could use an 11 speed road cassette, but I'm not 100% sure. I haven't thought about it because my wheels are only compatible with up to 10 speed road/11 speed mtb cassettes.

Beautiful build! what brand is the handlebar tape? It really looks nice with the blue graphics on the frame.

Handlebar tape is by Tec components (Cycleurope accessory brand, stores carrying Bianchi, Crescent, Gitane or Peugeot might have some). Colours aren't 1:1, but closest I could find.

also, how were you able to route Di2? From what I remember the chain stays are blocked off at the BB.
Posted over 7 years ago
Chain stays are open at least on my frame. There was a di2 version of the bike a few years ago.
Basically the di2 wire follows the route of a fd cable, inside the down tube, few cm's exposed under the bb and then back inside the frame. I drilled one of the holes made for a cable guide mounting screw under the bb large enough to pass the wire trough. Battery is inside the seatpost as is junction box b.

Sweet! I see that you're using the road Di2 shifter with mountain Di2 derailleur combo. I just recently found out about this and probably will use it in my next build. How is the shifting on a big range cassette like that?
